SKITS

Using Red Skelton’s Gertrude and Heathcliff jokes, each Cub can tell their own joke.

Everyone in the skit has their thumbs in their armpits to make wings, and flap their elbows.

Add more jokes from the list in “Stunts and Applauses”

Cub 1: Hey, tell me (cub 2’s name) what’s a polygon?

Cub 2: That’s easy. A polygon is a dead parrot.

Cub 2: (cub 3 name), did you hear about Willie the Duck?

Cub 3: No, what happened to Willie the Duck.

Cub 2: He flew upside down and quacked up.

All of the seagulls act like a jet just went by and
blew them sideways

Cub 3: What was that?

Cub 1: That was a jet.

Cub 3: How can he fly so fast?

Cub 1: You’d fly fast too, if your tail was on fire.

A Visit To An Aviary

Heart of America Council

Each Cub should develop a prop or costume for his assigned (chosen) part. You can use all of these and more if you want. Or skip some if you don’t have that many in your den.

NARRATOR Tonight we would like to take you on a visit to an aviary to meet some of our fine feathered friends. (introduces each bird by name as it enters).

WOODPECKER (Makes noise like Woody Woodpecker) If you sit in my tree, I can shake you up! (Nods head like he's pecking and exits.)

CROW (Comes with bright trinket in beak) I'm a bit of a rascal you know, Just a scavenger at heart.

OWL (Comes out very calmly and slowly , blinking wide eyes slowly and looking straight ahead with expressionless face) The less I speak, the more I hear. The more I hear, the more I know.

PEACOCK (Struts in slowly, head high , speaks in proud manner) My family is in show business, you know. Have you seen us on TV lately ? NBC is the channel (Struts off in same proud manner)

CARRIER PIGEON (Has message strapped to leg and speaks as though out of breath from hurrying) I'm just resting in flight. (Pulls compass out from under wing and looks at it) Have to look at my compass every hour or so. Must be on my way to get the message through.

Cub Scouts are most important…While doing good deeds: (Show Scouting-for-Food bags)
And doing community service: (Show a poster)

NARRATOR:Cub Scouts are the basic ingredients for two special things.

They are what justifies the time a volunteer leader gives…

And Cub Scouts are what Boy Scouts are made of

“Did You See That?”

San Gabriel Valley, Long Beach, Verdugo Hills Councils

Stanley:(in a strong European accent)t "Hello there, I am Arthur Stanley Livingstone, the world famous ornithoptitologist! (That means I watch birds, you know.) And this is my nephew and assistant, Todd. Say hello Todd."

Todd:(not really paying attention) "H'lo"

Stanley: We are here today on location in the midst of the African rain forest, and we should see some very rare birds indeed! I can hardly contain myself. Right Todd?
